Never seen it before!

Nipped into Tesco on the way home after work.
Now, at the door they have employed a security guard to stop the teenage kids.
They used to go around the store in groups, robbing, now they are only allowed in 1 at a time. 1 goes in, the rest of them wait until the first kid comes out and then he lets another in, etc...

If you are with a PARENT then you can go inside, as you are with a responsible adult.

Anyway... so walking around, I hear shouting. There, in the middle of an aisle were a family of 3, Mother (about 40), I presume her Daughter (about 17), and a little boy (about 3). Don't know if the kid was the kids kid or the mums kid.
The security guard was saying to the 17yr old "I SAW you do it. I saw you. It doesn't matter what you said.. you tried to..."
So transpires she was attempting to nick something.
The Mother said something, a convo ensued and eventually the security guard left. Probably confident that the parent would have all under control.

THEN, the most shocking part I thought, they all walked off into the fruit and veg section. I carried on shopping as all excitement was over.
I heard shouting again, and the Mother was smacking the little lads legs/bum, whilst her and the Daughter were trying to wrestle FRUIT from under his jacket that he had nicked!!!!
I mean... Is this the state of the bluddy country?

Pretty soon our tesco will be banning all people under 21!

Yep, and if you knew half the total value of stuff knicked over Crimbo from supermarkets, you'd probably have a coronary!

I was "STOP" trained at Sainsbury's and some of the scariest times of my life where to do with shoplifters.

How does having a knife put against your throat sound?? Or being half strangled?

First was for 2 bottles of whiskey and the second was a DVD grab and run.

Granted those were the worst two, but I've also been driven at and punched in the face a couple of times

Think they would qualify as pretty nasty.

Shop shifters are desperate most of the time and will often stop at nothing to escape.
Some are kids, some are professional, some are violent and some are not. Its a mixed bag with no hard and fast rules.
From 1994 - 1998 I was on the security team in Debenhams in Manchester and had countless run-ins with gangs of arseheads, hookers, smackheads, Big Issue vendors etc.
Had one big incident where i went through a plate glass door and got my hand skewered with a shard of glass, I'd say it was pretty dangerous working with Lifters.

Res,
All your inmates are yoofs, all with a soap on a rope, trainee scallies.....wait until you find one who realllllly reallllly doesn't wanna be there anymore and he tries to eat you to escape

Ahhh the old 'Lebonese loop'... Some mad characters operating those devices.

[Weedy]

We had russian/lithuanian guys constantly hitting our atm's. It was guarunteed you'd get at least 2 a week. It was my job for about a year, to walk outside three times an hour to check the atm's. If there was something on there, it was my job to rip it off and leg it back inside!!

That's when I got strangled, the bloke was walking behind me to reclaim his device as I took it off....Scary shite! I handed it over, he punched me in the face and ran off!

Scums that steal should be shot... (Only the ones that take the tax payers money and too lazy to work, so they steal instead)

lol just my opinion.

My inmates are yoofs?

I think your confusing my prison sir, I have one wing for young offenders and its remand at that.

The other 5 wings are for full blown adults varying in crime from lifters to nonces to murderers!

I worked as a Security Manager at ASDA for twenty years, the antics the shoplifters got up to would amaze you. I've had everything from knives, used needles, knuckle dusters, cars, fire arms, baseball bats, etc used as weapons against me. These numpties can be as violent as hell when they are being stopped and detained but when the boys in blue come they become all meek and quiet. some of the junkies have the strength of ten men when they are on the gear. some of them are what you could call.............. unclean and need rubber glove treatment. Over the years I must have lost a few pints of blood, and taken a few too. The violence shown to loss prevention staff goes way beyond the actual crime. People have been known to have been killed stopping shoplifters, mind you I know of a few shoplifters who have died being detained too.
And as for the thieving staff in some of the stores, well I can't think of a word or phrase that can capture my true feelings on how much I dislike them.
